  Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      130.12.180.128 (DE, Aachen)
ASN:             ASAS202412 OMEGATECH-AS Omegatech LTD, SC

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------

First reported:    2026-06-26 08:27:19 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-30 13:46:28 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-26 12:01:23 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 10:29:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, changenowio.to, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it mimics legitimate exchange platforms to harvest wallet credentials and private keys through deceptive swap interfaces and embedded drainer scripts. No direct brand affiliation is confirmed, but the infrastructure closely resembles known crypto phishing kits observed in recent campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 130.12.180.128 and was registered through the Government of Kingdom of Tonga on June 25, 2026. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while Google Safe Browsing status remains unconfirmed. No active blocklist entries are reported, though the domain's creation date suggests recent deployment for malicious purposes.  Current status remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Response actions should include immediate DNS filtering of 130.12.180.128, monitoring for associated subdomains, and user education on recognizing fake exchange interfaces. Despite low vendor detection, the domain's infrastructure and registration pattern align with high-risk phishing operations, posing significant credential theft and financial loss risks to cryptocurrency users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260626-760E05
Favicon MD5:       3c377d54a49698a64aafa95850ab73ed

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
